You should have a claim for tortious interference with a business relationship if what was said was false. Call me directly:

Depending on the context of the false statment, you could have a claim for libel, slander, and interference with a contract. Without knowing the context and subject matter of the false statement it is difficult to provide more insight. Please contact me, and I will be happy to provide you with a free consultation. 216.241.2500
